Ya this is what really illustrates how leftists have been conditioned for tyranny. They're not ok with people choosing for themselves if they remain locked up like prisoners. They insist EVERYONE do it at gunpoint. That's evidence of brainwashing.
We've allowed the moron's need for a false sense of security to guide our public policy on this for way too long. The constitution is not a fair weather document. Your precious fee-fees don't justify tyranny.
Actually, we don't need to "rebuild this country". We need to tear down the tyrannical bureaucratic monstrosity of a federal government we have.
We can't keep just trying to stop leftists from expanding federal powers anymore. We must actively close departments, repeal laws etc. We can't play defense anymore, we have to go on the offense. This all gets better when government returns to having a very very small role in our lives. Like effectively undetectable.
Man you couldn't be more right. I live in a pretty affluent seaside town in New England. I'm literally not joking when I tell you that not one black person lives in the entire town based on the 2010 census, yet it's loaded with BLM signs and has been since last summer.
These oblivious trophy wives drive their SL 500s to get lattes and pedicures everyday and think they're "down for the struggle" because they have a little sign on the lawn of their beachside estate that only other rich white people see. It's surreal
Sorry, but this really isn't accurate. Vocabulary is known to be one of the strongest indicators of IQ. Not just memorizing words, but actually understanding their meaning and being capable of using them correctly in context. This translates to reading, where someone reads a sentence and understands its genuine meaning, whereas an inarticulate person will often be confused or infer the wrong meaning. This leads to articulate people reading more and inarticulate people reading less, so it turns into a compounding problem.
That doesn't mean being articulate is the be all/end all of intelligence, but suggesting that a good chunk of articulate people are in fact idiots, whereas inarticulate people are intelligent, just doesn't line up with the actual data.
"with no helmets". God I'm glad someone else notices this. I have to sigh every time I see someone riding a bike with a helmet. Even freaking adults. We're so pathetically delicate now.
From the beginning of time until 20 years ago or so, older folks used to tell younger people how good they have it, because things were constantly improving. Now it's the exact opposite. Older people are always telling younger people how great it was in the old days. That's not natural.
Right, so censoring HER speech isn't helping, but when you censor other people's speech, that's totally cool.
This is why freedom of speech is absolute. You don't get to pick and choose, because that requires an arbiter of morality. And by definition, morals are entirely subjective.
No, this is not going to swing back the other way, because it's not an organic movement. So it doesn't have a natural ebb and flow. It's a very specific and deliberate plan devised by 20th century Marxist intellectuals. It doesn't end with people waking up. It ends in tyranny.
There's only one way to stop it. We all know what that is, but unfortunately the time for that one remaining option is dwindling fast too as the noose tightens.
Considering our national debt is about 30 trillion with an accompanying 600 billion a year interest payment, and 75% of our spending is on entitlement programs, you have to conclude that our so called "safety net" is ungodly dangerous.
Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but I don't use words like "safety" to describe existential threats.
On an unrelated side note, am I the only person who thinks this new British usage of "university" and "hospital" in the U.S. sounds pretentious? In other words, Americans used to say, "I went to the hospital". Now they say, "I went to hospital".
It sounds fake as hell coming from an American. It's akin to guys like Obama throwing in an hispanic accent for certain words like "Nicaragua" or "El Salvador"
Ya I would do that. I ordered 2 sometime in January and got them about 3 weeks later. Something must be wrong. (or maybe I got lucky)
I actually don't even like MyPillows and knew that when I ordered, but wanted to throw the guy some business to go along with his balls of steel, so I threw them in the closet for guests.
Someone needs to study the phenomenon of hot women being on the conservative side of the aisle. I know Rush's theory that feminism allowed unattractive women access to the mainstream of society, but the topic requires more study.
I think ugly women are attracted to leftism because it allows them to use collective force for revenge against the society who rejected them, under the pretense of compassion. Either way, it's uncanny how often the rule rings true.
It's obvious that the establishmentarians felt they could bury Trump if they all piled on, and then they'd be back to business as usual with all Republicans considering Trump a mistake. Now they're realizing that not only did that tactic not work, it actually strengthened his support, and now they're trying to backtrack.
But things have changed asshole rinos. We're keeping lists and are in no mood for forgiveness.
I live in Maine. Susan Collins represents a problem we see in many areas. The state has gone blue because of an influx of people from Mass and NY, and she's about the only Republican that can actually win.
So which is worse, a rino or a Democrat? I really don't know the answer to that at this point. It's a question of a traitor that occasionally sides with you but lets you down when you need her most, or an enemy that just never stands with you.
These morons should look at the actual law for "inciting violence". The idea that Trump even remotely came close to breaching it is absurd. Of course the Marxists at CNN know that, but unfortunately they also know their idiotic readers do not.
Oblivious. These leftists have their moronic heads in the sand. This was so damn predictable when you understand US dollar hegemony and its connection to our extremely dangerous "safety net".
These morons think money falls from the sky. Nope, turns out your"compassionate" policies, which are imposed on us at gunpoint, are also raping the rest of the world at gunpoint. Who knew compassion required so many guns?
One of the bullet points for that article is:
Recycling of petrodollars is beneficial to the greenback because it promotes non-inflationary growth.
Which is another way of saying our government blinks exorbitant amounts of money into existence in the form of debt, and then offloads the inflation to other nations, while charging their own citizens interest.
And ya, it's definitely no coincidence that many Arab countries are actively seeking to undermine US dollar hegemony by trading oil in Euros. That's the same thing Saddam tried to do with the oil for food program, just prior to his violent death at the hands of the US military. And just like Gaddafi tried to do just prior to his violent death...at the hands of the US military.
I mean, who do these people think they are, sovereign nations?
I know right. The last group of people I have any interest in taking advice from, it's the group of blithering morons we call a federal government.
